WOOL QUALITY PREPARATION FACTORS

One of the main branches of animal husbandry is sheep breeding, including karakul, and the wool obtained from them serves as an important raw material for the textile industry. Currently, more than 90% of the natural wool produced in the country is sheep wool.Wool has long been used for carpet weaving in the conditions of our republic, as well as for pressing felt, weaving warm clothes.To achieve high peaks in livestock production, it is necessary to increase the quantity of local products and their rational use, mainly through the introduction of local processing technologies to improve the quality of the products.Currently, there are a number of problems in the field of preparation and processing of wool in sheep breeding, especially in karakul breeding. Contaminated wool accumulates in large quantities at sheep shearing stations, farms and private farms of the republic specializing in sheep breeding. The main reasons for this are the lack of proper bathing of the sheep before shearing, the lack of technical means of primary processing of wool and the obsolescence of existing equipment
